    BEDFORD , Ohio ( WJW ) – Police in Ohio reported they found an 8-year-old girl shopping at a Target store after she took a car and drove there on busy roads.

    On Sunday morning, Bedford police took a call for a missing child. As they began to investigate, police also took a call “concerning a small child driving east on Rockside Road.”

    Officers eventually found the car in the parking lot of a Target store in Bainbridge, Ohio. Police then found the child in the store.

    Although the exact route the girl took is unclear, Google Maps shows the store is more than 10 miles from where she was reported missing and about a 20-25-minute drive.

    Her relatives were called to the store to get her and the vehicle.

    Police told Nexstar’s WJW that the girl is too young to charge criminally and that they are grateful no one was injured.
